What you'll need

Wireless routers

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G
Home networks are easier and cheaper to set up than ever, thanks to the arrival of wireless Wi-Fi routers. While 802.11b has been the most popular Wi-Fi standard, a new, even faster version of Wi-Fi--802.11g--recently hit the streets.
Editors' First Choice
The Linksys WRT54GS is especially well suited for networks with both 802.11g and 802.11b connections.
